Key takeaway This is a significant improvement from their predicted finish of 10th out of 10 teams in the previous year's preseason poll.
The UTRGV Vaqueros football team has been predicted to finish fourth in the Southland Conference. This is a significant improvement from their predicted finish of 10th out of 10 teams in the previous year's preseason poll. The team's performance in their inaugural season, with a 9-3 record and a 5-3 conference record, likely contributed to the change in perception.
The team's coach acknowledges that preseason rankings do not necessarily determine the outcome of the season. However, the improved ranking suggests a shift in how the team is viewed. Further details about the team's prospects and the preseason poll are available from the source.
